Letter: Reckless driving, with America in the car

Our president is a crash test dummy. He gets behind the wheel of the executive branch, sideswipes common decency, and plows into America’s time tested tradition of checks and balances. He speeds down Constitution Avenue and T-bones the Justice Department. Airbags, seatbelts and the rule of law can’t protect American citizens riding white knuckled in the passenger seat. After every crash The Donald recovers his indolent and contemptuous smile, pops his head back on, coifs his roadkill hair and climbs right back in.

This careless behavior happens every day. Our Crash Test Dummy-in-Chief wreaks havoc and is then given the keys to another vehicle. Have citizens been tested enough? America will continue to be crashed until we passengers take over the wheel. So far the only one not injured is the driver but eventually the car we all are riding in will go up in flames. When will we Americans refuse to be passengers in a car so recklessly driven by Donald Trump? It is time to pull the dummy out from behind the wheel and start driving for ourselves.
